How about fast-foreward to shall we say...a good part perhaps in my past.
I had finally been able to become a match against Black, I could block almost any of his blows and we had broken our sticks more than once in fighting. I remember his words,"Soon we can take a step foreward in this"
I was sitting in a patch of herbs and such in the middle of a bunch of boulders. I was sniffing them to see what is what. Syllen was a very strong smelling herb and was helpful in relieving head aches and also if it's boiled it can turn into a paste and seal wounds. They can be found only in dark places, but just follow your nose and you'd be able to track it.
I also fond what Black knew as Thorn Blossom. It looked like a pink dandelion but the tips of the petals and the stems were covered with little thorns, the leaves were edible though and gave you the energy of a large meal if they were fresh. I found them kinda yucky cause the leaves were fuzzy on the outside and it got stuck in my mouth a lot. I looked around, what else was there. Oh! I found some RASBERRIES! My fingers touched the red berries and they nice and plump! I popped one in my mouth. They had the taste of some fresh morning dew. I snacked on another one when my free hand brushed Emerald silk, it was like grass only really long and silky ish. It tasted awsome in soups! Black tapped his boot and I picked up the sound of its clicks. It was a sign meaning for me to come to him. I jumped and scrambled over the rocks eating one last rasberry before I saw him by a pool of water. I looked up at him, "Yes Master?"
He turned his head to the water, the reflection of the moon gleamed sullenly on its dark surface. "I want you to imagine something..."He begand to utter in a mere whisper, "Imagine the water...doing something...like moving or taking shape of something." I looked at him,"But-..." Black nodded,"and be serious of this..." I stepped up to the pool and looked at it closely trying to picture it all up in my head exactly how it is. I closed my eyes, My thoughts riveted for something. I imagined the water swirled slowly then it seem to jump and lift little by little, wind blew and it metaphored the water, it transformed into the form of a small ship, the moonlight on the water rippling on the sails of it.
"Open your eyes Midnight..."
I opened my eyes to see my hands out in front of me, and what I imagined, was what was in front of me in reality. The ship lifted from the pool and spiraled slowly upwards. I suddenly felt dizzy and fell to my knees. A splash of water landed all over me. I looked at Black, "Is that how it's suppose to go?" Black applauded,"It was better than what I imagined...you have been gifted to wield magic Midnight."
